Falkenstien to give book-signing

Max Falkenstien, Kansas University sports broadcasting legend and author of the recent book “A Good Place to Stop: 60 Seasons with Max and the Jayhawks,” will meet fans and sign books at the KU Bookstore in the Jayhawk Central Student Union at Edwards Campus, Overland Park.

The event, scheduled from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Dec. 4, is free, and the public is invited.

“A Good Place to Stop: 60 Seasons with Max and the Jayhawks,” published in April 2007 by PowerHouse LLC, is a sequel to Falkenstien’s earlier, out-of-print memoir, “Max and the Jayhawks.” “A Good Place to Stop” picks up where the earlier book left off – with recollections from Max’s final 10 years as Jayhawks broadcaster, including an athletics department shakeup, the departure of longtime coach Roy Williams and subsequent arrival of Bill Self, as well as the hiring of two head football coaches. In “A Good Place to Stop,” Falkenstien also relives his entire 60 years as “The Voice of the Jayhawks” to the legions of fans who tuned in for every game. The new book is co-written with local sportswriters Matt Fulks and Doug Vance, and it includes an afterword by Bill Self.
